I would suggest getting the EXACT release in tar form from the Splunk site, extract the files from the tar file and grab those two exact files from that extraction. That would be the path that I would take first.

Were these files touched today? which I doubt ; -)

File '/opt/splunk/etc/apps/user-prefs/default/app.conf' changed.
File '/opt/splunk/etc/apps/user-prefs/default/user-prefs.conf' changed.

What are their timestamps?

What was changed in the default/app.conf and default/user-prefs.conf files? Move the CHANGES to a local/app.conf and local/user-prefs.conf, restore the original files that are in the default/ directory, and try again.
